Tessel is a colorful tile placement game. Place tiles with matching colors to make shapes and fill the board. The larger the shape, the higher the points.

I love it, and have some feedback of you're interested:

  • As your puzzle grows, the area onto which you drag your shapes shrinks. This means that there's comes a point where your finger is obstructing the shape and target completely. There were many frustrating moments where I got the placement wrong because I couldn't see what I was doing.
    • Suggestion: an zoom feature when placing a tile when things are at a given scale, or maybe allowing the puzzle to expand off screen and slide around?
  • When the above happened, I was surprised that there's wasn't an undo button.
  • Some music and sound effects would be nice. Something chill, like this would be nice.
  • A confirmation when hitting the "back" button would be good when doing so would exit the game as well. I lost a rather impressive build out 'cause my finger slipped and it exited the game, wiping everything.
